Luke Malpass
Senior journalist Luke Malpass has been covering the news from Parliament for many years and has witnessed his share of highs and lows.
Speaking at Plimmerton Rotary on 14 June, he explained how different the atmosphere had become since the arrival of Covid, which in his view had preoccupied the Government for much too long. He felt the daily press conferences had been unnecessary and were disruptive to the normal process of Government. They had consumed a large proportion of the Government’s resources during that time.
There was a feeling among many New Zealanders that the Government had spread too much gloom and doom, largely ignoring the positive sides of life.
Mr. Malpass noted that the main story now was runaway inflation, affecting the price of petrol, groceries, and building materials to name a few. The National Party had highlighted the alarming rise in crime as another major issue that it believed was not being adequately addressed by the Government.

On the hunt for a childhood book
Hi guys,
I'm currently trying very hard to find this book and I can't seem to find it locally in stores. I was hoping one of you might have an old copy you weren't in need of anymore 🤞 i would be incredibly grateful 👌😊

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
